New bird...need an ID help...:)

[curious kat]

....have only seen one of these before, it was a few years ago and only for a few seconds. I know it's a "Thrasher"...but is it a young curved-bill or a rarer Bendire's Thrasher? I just happened to look out the window & there it was & was lucky to get these pictures yesterday, see what you all think?





....thanks!

i think you have a juvenile Brown Thrasher. It's the Georgia state bird. Here's one I took a while back. Weird eyes!

fyrffytr1....thank you for trying to help ID this bird. I looked at more pictures of the Brown one and don't think it is because of the "bill" shape and your bird has more white & pretty spots on the chest. Beginning to think it's a young curved bill who eyes haven't changed to orange yet. But thank you very much for helping.

vpnavy....thank YOU!

At least I got the "Thrasher" part right. I think your ID is right.
